>> bigger than business, philosophy. >> being a brand that chalts the norms has always been a part of "playboy." being that nudity doesn't challenge the norms anymore it doesn't make much sense to stick with that. >> like nike stopping making sneakers. >> you could look at it that way. now you're going to read the articles. now your imagination's going to work a lot harder. >> reporter: dani mathers was the last-ever nude playboy playmate of the year. >> it's going to be a jeopardy question someday so remember that. >> this is the photo archive. >> this is everything that's ever appeared in the magazine? >> everything. these are the original marilyn monroe nudes from the first issue of "playboy." >> reporter: and the last-ever naked cover girl? >> you are the last one. pamela. >> who would have thought? >> a lot of people. >> you are in a sense the perfect playmate.

she's taking selfies, taking pictures down her shoot. >> reporter: this is what a nonnude "playboy" shoot looks like in 2016. sarah mcdaniel, instagram star. famous for flawed beauty. different-colored eyes. this is her cover. >> the first person to even be on "playboy" was marilyn monroe, so to me it's a huge honor. >> what does playboy mean to you? >> playboy means freedom for women, feminism -- >> really? >> expressing yourself, no holding back. >> it doesn't mean nudie ladies in a magazine? >> i guess did it. the revamp and everything now, i feel it's a completely different thing, it's more about the women rather than just baring it all. >> the philosophy we took towards the photography really resonates with the younger -- the instagram crowd. >> reporter: note those three words. entertainment for men. gone. >> how was the home stretch? okay? >> we were just trying to make the greatest magazine we could. we pushed every envelope we could.

up to. it's more personal in that way. it's not just like, that girl's hot! >> i would say that was one of the hardest parts of the process is finding out where the line was and then walking up to it. because we need to be -- we still have to be who we are. we have be "playboy." that edge, that sexiness. how sexy can we get? it's a question we ask each other every day. i can't wait for people to see this. >> this is probably smart of them to do. i don't see how they could have continued it this way. it's got to change. >> reporter: full nudity was really getting in the way, it had to go. >> i can't imagine. it's still shocking to me. >> reporter: me too, pamela, me too. nick watt for "nightline" in beverly hills, california. and next, before he was king, the documentary taking you behind the scenes of michael
